Leupold Vendetta

[Button Buck]

I love this thing. Just bought it last week. It was easy to mount, a little tedious to get aimed. You can only use it with a multi pin sight(I'm using a Hoggit), unless you figure out a way to adjust a slider while at full draw.:) I did have to grind a groove in the mounting plate so the knob for this particular sight would have room to clear. Hit the button once (in front of the grip on the riser) to power it up. Draw and put your pins on the animal/object and hit the button again for the distance. It also has a laser feature to help get it aimed correctly. So far I am really enjoying it and am looking forward to using it in a hunting situation. Now I just need to get this Z to MaybeeR for a good tune.

I just got one from my kids for Christmas. I usually shoot 1 pin, but I would be willing to go back to a multi pin sight if this rangefinder is really worth it. Or, do I return it and replace my old rangefinder with a newer and much better one? I hope some people with experience that have used the Vendetta can help me out!

very cool, but illegal to hunt with here in Oregon. Dangit!

I've been shooting with it quite a bit outdoors the last week or two when the weather has been ok. I used it a couple times just to play with it on the practice 3D course at the range to get used to it. It works great. I had to get used to the mult-pin sight too. When it's aimed correctly it picks up the animal instantly and is accurate.

The only thing I do not like it all the weight it adds so high up on the bow. It is very noticable to me. Maybe a side bar would counter it and help better balance the bow, but then there will be even more weight.
